Every July 4, Americans have less independence to celebrate.
Although the country’s original principles enshrined sovereignty for the individual, those ideals are ancient history in practice today.
In light of Independence Day, I think we should consider an important question:
What does real independence look like, and how can you achieve it?
It might be better to start with what it doesn’t look like:
- The cumulative effect of income tax, sales tax, property tax, capital gains tax, estate tax, and countless others
- Vaccine mandates
- Travel restrictions
- Legal tender laws, which force people to use rapidly debasing government confetti as money
- ESG social credit scores
- Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
- Forever wars
- The gutting of the Bill of Rights
- The need to comply with an ever-growing stack of regulations, mandates, and laws
- The politicization of the justice system
- Government and Big Business promoting cultural degeneracy
This is just a short synopsis of the current state of affairs. The list is far from exhaustive.
Here’s the bottom line.
It doesn’t matter which party is in power. They are all headed in the same direction, albeit at different speeds.
Somehow, someway, the government will keep squeezing your pocketbook harder. It will keep subjecting you to escalating, arbitrary, and burdensome regulations, restrictions, and taxation.
It’s only prudent for most people to expect more government and less freedom.
However, there is a way you can still secure real independence…
Freedom Insurance
Most people have medical, life, fire, and car insurance.
Of course, you hope you never have to use these policies, but you have them anyway. They give you peace of mind and protect you if and when the worst does happen.
Think of international diversification as the ultimate insurance policy against an out-of-control government. I call it “Freedom Insurance.”
International diversification is a time-tested route to true freedom. Wealthy people worldwide have used it for centuries to protect their money and families effectively.
Now, thanks to modern technology, anyone can implement similar strategies.
In many cases, you don’t even need to leave home.
You can start by…
- Buying some physical gold and Bitcoin. Both are inherently international assets and not under the control of any government.
- Moving some of your money into foreign bank accounts.
- Owning foreign real estate.
- Obtaining a second passport.
- Structuring your cash flows so you’re less dependent on any one country for your income. The goal is to create multiple sources of revenue from international investment opportunities and trends. Bonus diversification points if you do all this through an offshore company domiciled in a favorable jurisdiction.
- Moving your digital presence—email, website, cloud storage—to countries with the best privacy guarantees, among other things.
It may seem daunting at first, but it really isn’t.
These are all necessary steps to ensure your personal and financial freedom to the maximum extent in the coming chaos.
Setting up your own “Freedom Insurance” is how you declare your personal independence.
It frees you from absolute dependence on any one country, making it challenging for any state to coerce and control you.
When you achieve that, you’ll know what real independence looks like.
So, how do you go about doing it?
I just released an urgent report with specific steps anyone can take today.

Yeah the justices were a bunch of cowards
When the exercise of your power results in you losing that power, of what use was it in the first place?
We’ve been ruled by FOOLS for far too long.
You approve them with each dollar withheld from your check, and each time you file a tax return.
Or vote for anybody to “elected oriface”.
Haven’t voted in decades. Never going to again.
So, “I approve” by virtue of the fact that I’m the victim of Government theft? That sounds retarded.
The choice is always silver or lead.
When a voter does not have “standing” to challenge voter and election fraud then no one does. The courts are an ass.
There are no elections only selections good lord stop the naivete and ignorance.
Same, same, when I have called the PoPo a time or two? Course, then I think to myself, who do the arsewerks work for, Duh?
The police are NOT public servants.They are government functionaries.
Ties back to the exact same server, I’m guessing.
And just what a surprise that would be …
Actually, very. Cosplaying Satan Musk owns that server, doesn’t he?
I wouldn’t think he’d be that careless.
It’s easier than politics….stop doing business with corporations that hate you.
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is dirty corporation full of dishonest sleezeballs and idiots.
The constitution guarantees freedom to do business [contract] with whomever you choose.
If you do not want the government or businesses to coerce you?
Do not supply them with the rope by signing contracts with them.
Contracts up avoid:
Social security.
Drive license/ID
W2
Bank accounts.
Car registration.
Selective service.
They can not legally do anything to you if you do not harm anyone [or property] and have not contracted with these assholes.
Eventually?
I can guarantee that a persons continued ability to collect the social security money back from the government, will be hampered by the government attaching strings like “Unless you get the vax, your benefits [your money we took] will be denied.”
[Will be stolen]
The world is like a global version of the Costco effect, where after you fall in love with a product, it disappears.
Just as I have come to my senses, the world runs out of theirs.
Selective Service?? I think I still have my card around somewhere.
Burn it, but don’t go to Canada.
“The constipation guarantees freedom to do business.” End Sentence. There, fixed it for you.
Independence doesn’t look like a $400,000 dollar home you owe
$360,000 dollars on. Independence doesn’t look like two leased vehicles with monthly payments of $7000 each. Independence doesn’t look like a $25,000 dollar credit card bill. And independence doesn’t look like two $6 dollar lattes everyday on your way to work. Get out of debt now.
Let those in sin remain in their sin, and let the righteous continue in their righteousness.
So saith the LORD.
sounds like HE is pretty pissed off there!
You just described a bunch of complaints about contracts.
Is it the law now that people must buy homes they can not afford?
Is there a law mandating runnig up credit card debt?
Does the law force you to buy cars you can’t afford?
Does the law force you to buy coffee?
These are all choices a person is free to make or pass up.
IF YOU SIGN A CONTRACT AGREEING TO DO SOMETHING?
YOU MUST PERFORM OR BRING THE CONTRACT INTO DISHONOR.
Your argument is flawed because you present it from the point that people have to contract poorly for themselves.
If you don’t like the offer, stop paying into it.
If your cable sucks? Cancel the cable.
If your government sucks? Cancel your contributions and contracts.
So simple a caveman could do it.
I made no complaints, I said get out of debt. In other words it’s your choice. Work on your reading comprehension and quit reading things into others posts. It’s ignorant.
So none of my points were salient to your argument?
Like in support of if?
Are contracts not how people trap themselves into untenable financial binds?
He said “you described a bunch of complaints”
Not “you made a bunch of complaints”
Work on your reading comprehension and quit reading things into others posts you cock sucking fucktard!
Don’t pay property taxes on anything at all. Then call me and tells me how that worked out? btw, look up “allodial title” in the You-Ass-Oh- Merica. It does not apply to you, believe me.
Is it a real contract when only one party can change it at will?
see credit card, phones, etc.
Obviously it would be some sort of ‘independence’ being exercised for folks to have those debts … i.e., they’re the consequences of choices that they’ve made …
You can’t beat slave to your house, your vehicles, your toys and you debt and be independent.
Yeah well,i am now out of debt. I also know how to tell my wants from my needs. I am also now old. Trying to pass on financial wisdom to my grandchildren isn’t easy. I can remember my Dad trying to give me those same pearls of wisdom. Too bad he was speaking Chinese. “Too soon old.Too late smart.” as the proverb goes.
probably that wisdom cannot easily be taught, it must be learned directly, and the best way for that, is to see from the very earliest age possible, that the only way _anything_ be it money or what one might trade money to get, is gotten, is through honest work and only retained through self-discipline. one can amass a billion and piss it away in no time flat. but every one of these gimmedats either of the ghetto variety or of the cocktail left variety or whatever,started out as a kid getting shit handed to him with no consequences or responsibility, and never learning to respect wealth as the fruit of his labor.
Lose the IDIOT-phone for starters.
Its not your friend.
… and the $175 a month cable tv … and the $6 coffee … and the $110,000 pickup truck … and the $85,000 SUV …
About 15 years ago I worked with a young woman whose car was on its last legs — and she was whining about how she couldn’t afford to remedy the situation.
I sat down with her and analyzed her monthly expenses on just 2 components of her lifestyle … her cappuccino consumption and her cigarette consumption. Just those 2 items amounted to more than $850 per month of her $16 an hour wages …
Truth be told, I showed her that even a new Mercedes Benz was within that payment range (assuming, of course, she could come up with the down payment) …
Priorities … choices … consequences …
In other words, Freedom is for sale and you can have some…IF you’re rich enough.
No fucking thank you. I’ll earn MY Freedom the HARD way like my forebears did! By killing so many of those bastards that want to take it that THEY can’t afford the price.
Here are some examples of what TCS dominating the government will look like:
TCS will be TKO
Ha!
It’s fool who shows up empty handed to a gunfight. I could finish both of them AND the camera man in less than 3 seconds.
I don’t fight to win. I fight to kill. It’s a survival thing I’m sure you’d never understand, sheep.
But thanks for posting that fag world “got too much time on muh hands” example. You keep fighting fair, ya hear?
I love your sense of humor!
Poor tcs.
Always looking for a death match like a tough guy.
Calm down you little bitch.
Take a chill pill.
And go suck Bil gates weiner.
Calm down raisin head.
CIA issued?
The rich are not your real problem … that’s a divisive agenda that’s pushed … your own choices are the problem … deal with it …
You keep tellin’ yourself that, Sparky. You’re gonna be gobsmacked on Judgement Day when you SEE all the shit rich people have done to you that you never knew anything about.
On judgment day, my god will kick the living shitout if your god.
You let the government take the family farm from you, right? Isn’t that what you said? You didn’t even fire a shot to stop them did you?
You’re all talk, pussy.
No. That’s NOT what I said…fag.
That’s exactly what you said, you worthless coward.
Repeating your lie isn’t gonna make it the truth.
So, what country welcomes Americans to open a bank account in their jurisdictions?
Whst does it matter? If they open bank accounts that’s good enough, why do you have to be welcomed first? Only a very few countries won’t give you an account. And you can get yourself into slave debt in any country.
I want to flee the bankers here for the bankers there.
Trading lemons for lemons.
Go Galt, bury PM’s in Mason jars. ….. problem solved.
And when the bombs drop, they’ll melt your gold into convenient 1 quart ingots!
Still worth the same amount of $$$$, Scru. The “shiny” is valuable no matter what form you have it. I’ll take any quart sized gold ingot you don’t want.
That was more or less my point. YOU will not survive, but your gold will still be perfectly fine…aside from some pesky radiation.
Never bury your PM’s next to your “gulch” hideout, everybody knows that, Scru. Ya moron.
Wrap them in tinfoil, problem solved.
Nickel, zinc, copper and silver. Gold is to hard to trade as a small amount is worth so much.
I like all metals, bury anything that shines the color you like. Silver is just as nice IMO.
Silver and Bitcoin.
U R at least half right.
Could always escape to Australia or New Zealand i guess. ( sigh )
Both those countries suck now too, btw.
so his basic advice is to somehow come up with at least 4 or 5 mil somewhere and then spread that out over two or three different countries. okey dokey.
Grow Your Own
and
Fuck the Police
note- the guy doing this little ditty has 10 years for saying things like this in the wrong ZOG country, unlike the nigger behind the original who is an actor playing a cop on tv.
Umm, are you a commie? YOU MAKE THEM do that! You stay here, your assets stay here, your money stays here.
You make these uckfers do that OVER there where they belong.
Step 1, stop cherry picking Jewish mainstream narratives and stop bowing to their pseudo Abrahamic religion/death cult.
You lost me at Bitcoin. What determines the intrinsic value of Bitcoin? The market. How many other Crypto currencies have already crashed and burned? Why should I believe Bitcoin will not meet the same fate? Because it was one of the first, and has lots of owners? Those are not fundamentals of a sound currency that is hopium, sort of like full faith and trust in US government backs the dollar. I mean I have heard of the gold standard never heard of the Bitcoin standard.
